When the riding is smooth, speed comes down to resistance and weight, and that's what this rating emphasizes. What pushes it in this direction is very wide tires that create extra drag and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. In combination, they decide how the bike feels when rolling along. That's why it's more about stability and usefulness than feeling fast.

Overall on climbs: 2.4/10. Within e-road bikes, it sits below average. You may find yourself pushing a bit more on steeper grades. Your easiest gear lands around 30.2 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~26% for low-gear climbing. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some hills. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.
